This this is 2025 now and I just today bought my first ever Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin albums: Echoes and Mothership.
I have just reached the 1,500 followers mark here on X/Twitter and wanted to say thank you to everyone that has elected to follow me on here. I will continue to do my very best up be entertaining, interesting and insightful - except to everyone I have blocked. :)
I just heard that the hottest average temperature day of summer was today. From here forward now, the average daily high starts to inch down slightly each day towards fall - and then the COMPLETE FROZEN HELLSCAPE that is winter.
Be advised, if your boss ever comes to you and says, "We are bringing in these new AI tools to help you do your job more efficiently" you can rest assured that you are soon to be replaced by those exact AI tools. They just want you to help set up and train your replacement.
You think crypto is big now? Just wait until every single asset on the face of the Earth is tokenized and put on the Blockchain. That day is coming - and it will be here a lot sooner than what any of us realize.
You think the crypto market is hot now? This is nothing. Just wait until they pass the new crypto regulations here soon. Once they get regulatory certainty, the crypto markets are going to absolutely explode as trillions of dollars flow into that space.
Is it just me or are we inching closer and closer to WWIII here now with literally each passing minute that goes by? This is far and away the most dangerous time in any of our lifetimes. All it takes is ONE careless mistake and...
I'm so glad that application design and creation is finally being taken out of the hands of programmers by AI now. They just don't understand workflow or HID as well as they think they do. Now, applications will have a real shot at actually improving for once. It's about time.
So, now Grok 4 is smarter than any post-graduate Ph.D., not only in one field of study, but in EVERY field of study. That's pretty impressive there. I can't wait to see how much further they take that with Grok 5 when it eventually arrives.
I can't talk right now...I'm trying to figure out how to divide by negative zero.
Well, guys...I've done it. I'm announcing that I have finally invented AS: Artificial Stupidity. I'm officially announcing the launch of "Crok 1.0" here tonight. The world will never be the same!
What are your predictions for the Grok 4 release later tonight? How much more advanced and capable do you think it's going to actually be? On a 1-10 scale, how impressed to you expect the world to be when they see what it can do?
Based on current events, do you believe that some in our society today are simply "Too big to fail...too rich to jail" and that due to their positions of power they are literally above the law?
Question for Republicans: Now that Elon has stated that he will form the new "America Party", will you consider leaving the GOP to join him? And, if so, why?
If you were a betting person, what odds would you put on Elon launching a new political party here in the next couple of days? He's already made clear that he is done with the GOP and he believes he can do things better. Can he?
If you were thinking that the conflict between Israel and Iran was over, I have some bad news for you: It hasn't even started yet. This is all going to get SO much worse here soon - and it will quickly spread as other countries like North Korea and Pakistan get involved.
Entry-level jobs are disappearing fast now due to advancements in AI. In a week or so, we will have Grok 4 and ChatGPT-5. They are expected to be massive leaps forward in AI. The rate of job loss to AI will soon see a rapid acceleration. How long until AI takes your job?
Here's something to consider: As soon as next week, humans may well no longer be the most intelligent entity on this planet. That's REALLY not going to sit well with a lot of people out there. It's time to start to come to terms with that reality though.
Be honest, if in roughly a year from now there are a dozen humanoid robots for sale and out on demo at your local BestBuy (starting out around $10K each) will you go in to see them and check them out? That's likely coming, sooner than we think.
Serious question: We are approximately a decade away now from likely being able to completely halt the human aging process (with the manipulation of telomeres). Once that ability arrives, what happens to the global population when no one dies of old age anymore? Then what?
